About Us

The Social Environmental Alliance (SEA) advocates for the application of ecological and democratic socialist principles to public affairs and the governance of our communities, building support for these ideals through public education, grassroots coalitions, electoral methods and cultural work. To learn more, you can read our constitution or contact us to get involved.

*++* On Saturday, August 26th, 2017 from 10-3pm SEA is hosting a training session for anyone interested in learning how to use MailChimp and HTML5. This workshop is no longer in a computer lab so you will need to bring your own laptop, or let us know that you need one ahead of time and we should be able to provide one for you.

Where We Stand

1. People and the planet before profit.

The Social Environmental Alliance is committed to a world where the wellbeing of people and the planet takes priority over the accumulation of private wealth.

2. Respect for ecological systems.

We believe all human activity and social systems must operate within the limits imposed by ecological systems and with respect for non-human life.

3. Transformative social change.

Recognizing the dangers of catastrophic climate change, the injustice of colonization and imperialism, and the inhumanity of growing poverty in the midst of plenty, we pledge ourselves to the lifelong project of transformative social change.

4. Ecological and democratic socialist principles.

We aim to accomplish our objectives through the application of ecological and democratic socialist principles to public affairs and the governance of our communities.

5. Grassroots organization and action.

Committed to action and outreach, we are nurturing a community of organizers to mobilize the consciousness and confidence of ordinary people and forge alliances in coalition with social movements, cultural organizations and grassroots community groups.

6. Traditions inform practice.

We are guided by the best traditions of indigenous, feminist, co-operative, socialist, labour and environmental movements.

7. Democracy.

We embrace a participatory, pluralistic and emancipatory model of democracy.

We recognize the right of indigenous and colonized peoples to self-determination.
